In Memory of Common Sense →

Rape isn’t what happens when a man gets a little hot in the pants after seeing some cleavage. Rape isn’t a response to the sight of a woman’s bare shoulders in a tube top on a warm day. Rape isn’t a risk a woman should run if she flirts with someone at a bar and dares to go home alone rather than with him.  Rape is not sex. It’s a crime founded on power, violence and control, and a man who will rape a woman will rape regardless of what she does, where she is, or what she has on. Women in hijab and burqas get raped, too. That is common sense.

Read the relevant VSB post here. As one might imagine, it and the subsequent apologetic edits are utter bullshit.
